Everyone in the village knew that this was a collective wedding for eight couples. Due to the special circumstances, many of the formalities had been cut down, leaving only the wedding ceremony and the wedding ceremony.

Even so, the trees on both sides of the main avenue of the village were decorated with large flower balls tied with red gauze. Each tree had a red flower tied to it, and the trees were connected by red gauze ribbons, forming a red wedding belt that stretched for dozens of miles around the villa.

The wedding procession was lined with security guards and enthusiastic villagers. Everyone had chosen the best viewing spot, vying to witness this rare group wedding.

The auspicious day is as joyful as the wind, with loud gongs and drums and firecrackers blasting!

The wedding band starts playing music. They play music all the way, creating a festive atmosphere!

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" Someone in the front shouted loudly. People in the crowd began to look out, wanting to be the first to witness this moment.

The first wedding carriage came towards the crowd! Leading the way was a red horse with a red flower on its head, carrying a groom in red clothes, walking with his head held high. Behind him was a festive carriage, on which sat the bride, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown. On both sides of the carriage were men riding tall horses in wedding clothes. Moreover, each wedding carriage was equipped with a professional driver with a red belt around his waist, and a young man holding a wedding basket and throwing candy professionally.

The crowd watching the ceremony began to say their blessings, and there was a feeling of one voice rising and falling!

"Congratulations, sir!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Xi!"

"Have a daughter soon!"

……

"Thank you! Thank you! Congratulations!" The grooms responded with smiles on their faces and clasped their fists.

"Wow... wedding money and wedding candy!"

"I want to get some of the good fortune. Maybe in a few years it will be my turn!"

“Hahaha…you’re right!”

A wedding procession passed by, and soon after, another wedding procession came over in high spirits.

"I think the gentlemen all look much more handsome today than before!"

"Of course. People are in high spirits when they are happy. If it's your turn, you will look much better too!"

"Hey, hey, hey...right!"

"..."

Eight wedding processions paraded around the village, then gathered at the threshing ground to perform a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven. On the high platform in the center of the threshing ground, there were a row of offering tables, on which were placed whole pig heads, cow heads, sheep heads, whole chickens, ducks, fish, gold, silver, jade, silk, candies, and wine. Naturally, the threshing ground was also surrounded by villagers. In addition to watching the fun, they also came here because it was the main venue for a banquet. The huge threshing ground could hold at least two to three hundred banquet tables at a time.

As the representative of the heavenly offering ceremony, Zhuang Daru led the newlyweds in burning incense and offering wine, and then spent nearly half an hour reciting prayers, conveying the wishes of the newlyweds and the prayers of all the villagers to the gods.

I wish you peace, happiness and all the best!

Second, I pray for happiness and health, and many daughters and blessings!

The third wish is for a stable life and peace in the world!

……

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the young men took their wives home! The men, who were so excited, could not wait any longer. Some of them directly carried their wives on horses and rode together, while others carried their wives on their backs and walked home to show their sincerity. The eight wedding processions went their separate ways in the threshing ground, separated in an orderly manner, and went back to their respective homes to perform the ceremony of worshipping in the hall.

At Beibei's home in Hot Spring Valley, the three sisters Yanan, Yiyi, and Bailu, along with their husbands and children, gathered here early. The banquet was prepared by a professional team of chefs, so they didn't have to do it themselves. What they were most concerned about was the wedding ceremony, from the layout of the venue to the placement of offerings, to the wedding ceremony speech, all of which were finalized by the three families working together, showing how much they put in!

"The auspicious time is coming soon, why haven't the newlyweds come back yet?" Bai Lu looked out the door several times, but no one was there yet. She braided a rope made of straw and grapefruit leaves, lit one end, and the green smoke with the scent of grapefruit rose. She placed it under the steps, with the burning end facing the door, to drive away evil spirits and purify the bridal chamber in advance to welcome the newlyweds! The brazier was also ready. When the newlyweds arrived, the brazier would be lit and stepped over, and all the evil spirits would retreat.

"Don't worry, my lady. It won't delay the time!" Ye Xiao held Ruibao and followed Bai Lu around. The main reason was that Ruibao could recognize people. He liked to babble for his mother at any time. If he didn't see anyone, he would be fine. But if he saw someone, he would follow him. Ye Xiao didn't want to let his lady suffer. After all, Ruibao's plump body was not light.

"Ah my..." Ruibaoer is so adorable that he echoes his daddy's words in baby talk.

"Oh, Ruibaoer, we are waiting to see the bride!" Bai Lu teased her baby son, and it was getting more and more fun! He responded to everything the adults said, and Ruibaoer was even more happy to get a response from his mother and grinned.

While Bai Lu was happily playing with the baby, everyone came out and waited at the gate.

"What are you all doing out here? The new people haven't arrived yet, and I've already seen them several times!" Bai Lu was teaching her son how to clap his hands, and she did not forget to turn around and say something to Yiyi and Yanan.

"We're here. The wedding party has entered the Hot Spring Valley." Yiyi replied. This was what Xiaoba told her. She was also wondering because the men's hearing was so good that they could tell where there was movement before they even saw any figure.

"I see. I'll light the brazier and wait!" Bai Lu left her husband and son behind and immediately lit the brazier at the door.

"Wow, he's carrying the bride back! So cool!" Yiyi exclaimed when she saw the newlyweds walking in front of the wedding procession from afar. An Yi was walking with Bei Bei on his back, and if there wasn't a carriage and wedding band behind him, he would probably have flown away.

"Hahaha... How impatient An Yi must be!" The men understood at a glance, they burst into laughter, and understood what he meant!

"Here we go! The newlyweds step over the fire basin, and the evil spirits won't enter!"

An Yi carried the bride on his back and took a big step into the yard, and did not put her down until he entered the hall. He and Bei Bei stood hand in hand, waiting for the wedding ceremony!

The three kinds of animals had been prepared on the altar, and the offerings of wine, fruit, sugar cakes, longans, red dates and melon seeds filled the table.

Yiyi went forward to light the incense! Put on the red candle! Add more wine! Sing the lyrics!

"Bow to heaven and earth!" An Yi and Bei Bei bowed towards the gate.

A bow: respect heaven, a perfect match made in heaven;

Two bows: respect the yellow earth and tie the knot;

Three bows: respect heaven and earth, forever and ever!

"Bow to our parents!" An Yi and Bei Bei turned around and bowed towards the altar. One of them had an unknown parent and the other's parent was not in this world, so they could only go through the motions to the air.

A bow: respect for parents, the love between family members is as deep as the East Sea;

Second bow: thank parents for their upbringing, which is as heavy as a mountain;

Three bows: wish parents a happy family life and a long life.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" An Yi and Bei Bei held hands and bowed face to face. Their heads touched each other, causing everyone to smile knowingly.

A bow: single-minded, devoted, and live together till old age;

Two bows: mutual consent, the best of both worlds, and eternal love; Three bows: three lives of luck, three stars shining brightly, and a lasting marriage!

"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!" After Yiyi sang, An Beibei was escorted to the backyard by everyone.
